We had given Vaccination to our 3 months old baby boy on 17 Jan 2018 in which polio drops were also included. Now there was polio vaccination yesterday. But we did not give him yesterday as we gave him on 17 Jan 2018. Is it ok or did we do a mistake by not giving him polio vaccine yesterday.

The idea of pulse polio is to give mass vaccination of inactivated polio virus as to get total immunity of the population called as" herd immunity" in mass immunisation programmes, in addition to protecting your baby you will help in achieving containment if wild polio virus by replacing it with inactivated virus from the polio drops. You aren t doing harm to your baby by not putting the drops as she will be protected from last vaccination, but if lot of people get left out then the wild virus can re emerge in such population. So if there is home visit for putting polio drops please get it done. And next month pulse polio programme is there as well. Don't miss it. Best wishes.
